Russian Fencers attacking a Ukrainian airbase: One of them wasn't so lucky, but he took some of the enemy with him:

Quick question: I'm using the community weapons pack, and even though I can get JDAMs in my loadouts for the Superhornets how come I don't get JSOWs? The guidance and attachment types seem identical.

Great stuff Kevin. Is there any chance you can post a screenie of your ground object folder so I can make sure I've got everything? Thanks

ktickner6767, I would recommend: 1) downloading and installing one of the weapons packs from the downloads section. 2) navigate to the Thirdwire/Wings Over Europe/Objects/Weapons and open the weapondata.ini file you'll find in that folder. 3) Copy and paste the Tornado fuel tank data you showed in your earlier post into the weapondata.ini file as the next entry and make sure you change the WeaponDataxxx to the next one in sequence eg if the last one in the list is [WeaponData100] then your new entry will be [WeaponData101] 4) Save and close the weapondata.ini file 5) Open the weapon editor program and then select open. You then need to navigate to the weapondata.ini file you just added the Tornado tank to, and open that file. 6) Scroll down the list of weapons and the bottom one on the list should be your newly added Tornado tank. 7) Doubleclick on it to open it and then click OK to close it again. 8) Click save and then you can close the program. 9) Fire up Wings Over Europe, seect a mission with your Tornado and you tanks should be available.

I was so busy adding the right planes to my various installs that I only had time for one mission last night.... Took a flight of 2 Russian MiG 29Cs for a recon mision over the Black Sea terrain. En route we were intercepted by 2 Ukrainian MiG-21s. They never stood a chance, falling to an Archer each. As we got back on track the RWR started to chirp and my wingie started calling missile launches, but Red Crown was saying we were clear of threats. I took us down into a valley and we flew NOE to the target, an airfield just over the Turkish border. We overflew the airbase low and on 'burner and the air defenses opened up but never caught us. There were some Ukrainian An-12s on the tarmac, which should give the Brass the excuse they need to widen our offensive. No doubt we'll be flying sweeps and escorts in future. On the way out we picked up a flight of Turkish 8 F-4E 2020s on the nose, I think they were the guys lighting us up on ingress (and the debrief confirmed it was indeed the Terminators lobbing AIM-7s at us. I would have gone for them but thought discretion was the better part of valour, and we went back down low and around them instead, and made a fast run for home. Looking forward to flying more missions tonight, and going up against them too. Great release guys.

A world exclusive for C5! Well done sir. And thanks to all TMF for these great planes.

No wingtip tanks on the Ouragan?

http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showt...uette&st=20 There was an Alouette III project, but unfortunately it's been cancelled. Maybe someone else will have a go? As for the SF-260, I don't think anything is being worked on. If you want to use my Angolan Mi-24 skin (or any of the other African ones) please feel free. I've got skins for Capun's Mi-8 series for Angola and Mozambique that are very early WIP. I'll try and get them out in due course. BTW, I've seen some posts about doing this for SF2. Wouldn't it make more sense to use WOI as the base program? it includes the Hunter, as well as the Israeli jets that you're contemplating using, and with the Dakota to be included in the Suez addon, you'll get another SAAF/Rhodesian bird in the hangar without having to get permission to use a third party version.

Phew! Thought I'd pasted the wrong link for a sec!

Isn't this the Lynx, by another name? http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?s=&am...st&p=247632

Looks like those Forger WIPs will have somewhere to fly from.

Looking forward to all of these Baltika. Maybe hold off on BoB until Veltro finishes the Defiant?

I think there are 9 arrows in the map picture, and there are 9 B-70s in the comic picture. I think we're getting this comic, I mean graphic novel, in episodes. Or there could be a new version of OTC in the works. Or a B-70?

two Apaches would be good. You could have an A model and a Longbow model with the mast mounted radar.

Maybe a sea tile with a carrier painted on it? Or does that sound silly?

Yep. The data.ini will extract to the Objects folder, so you will then need to cut and paste it to the individual plane's folder in the Aircraft folder.

To misquote Oscar Wilde: To lose these prisoners once may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose them twice looks like carelessness.

It's exactly the same procedure in WOV & SFG as in WOE. If you're trying to add pilots to the stock aircraft you need to extract the the aircraft's data.ini files first.

Just noticed, and sorry to go OT, but the primary target in the screenies is a MiG-23UB. I didn't know there was a 2-seater Flogger available.

I've always wanted to get a Saab ever since John Gardner gave James Bond a Saab 900 Turbo in his books. Maybe I can pick up a cheap one now, or a Viggen or Gripen....

You need to edit the data.ini of the aircraft you want to modify. The instructions are probably in the KB, but here's a link to the relevant page on Wrench's site. http://wrench1smog.com/wrench14.html

I think I'm going to have to update my Israeli Airforce thread. Looking forward to all of these mods soon guys.

Looks like Operation Reciprocity might be a go. A couple of questions: For the canal locks, could the jetties from EAWEurope act as stand ins? I don't suppose the map stretches up to Belize does it? I've quite fancied trying a British/Guatamalan fight like in this novel: http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0.../authordatabase
